Last Day to Withdraw - Nov. 15
Nov. 10, 2023 is the last day to receive a financial adjustment when you withdraw from a course. You have until Nov. 15, 2023 to drop a course to avoid a failure or a poor grade showing up on your student record and affecting your CGPA. This is referred to as Academic Withdrawal. Academic Withdrawals will create no financial change to fall term fees and will result in a grade of Withdrawn (WDN) appearing on your official transcript. WDN is a permanent notation that appears on your official transcript signifying no academic credit and will not impact your CGPA. Please note that Nov. 15, 2023 is the last day to withdraw, with no academic penalty, from full fall and late fall courses. After these dates, you will no longer be able to drop courses. The Academic Withdrawal deadline to drop a full session (fall/winter) course is March 15, 2024. After this date, you will no longer be able to drop full session courses.

TheGraduate@Carleton newsletter is typically distributed on Thursdays.
